Definitions

  • Asthma is a complex disease involving the concerted actions of multiple inflammatory and immune cells, spasmogens, inflammatory mediators, cytokines and growth factors.
  • bronchodilators e.g., ⁇ - adrenoceptor agonists
  • anti-inflammatory agents e.g., corticosteroids
  • prophylactic anti-allergic agents e.g., cromolyn sodium
  • xanthines e.g., theophylline
  • Theophylline has been a preferred drug of first choice in the treatment of asthma. Although it has been advocated for its direct bronchodilatory action, theophylline's therapeutic value is now believed to also stem from anti- inflammatory activity. Its mechanism of action remains unclear. However, it is believed that several of its cellular activities are important in its activity as an anti- asthmatic, including cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase inhibition, adenosine receptor antagonism, stimulation of catecholamine release, and its ability to increase the number and activity of suppressor T-lymphocytes. While all of these may actually contribute to its activity, only PDE inhibition may account for both the anti-inflammatory and bronchodilatory components. However, theophylline is known to have a narrow therapeutic index and a wide range of untoward side effects which are considered problematic.
  • Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases PDEs
  • Cyclic 3',5'-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and cyclic 3',5'-guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) are known second messengers that mediate the functional responses of cells to a multitude of hormones, neurotransmitters and autocoids.
  • At least two therapeutically important effects could result from phosphodiesterase inhibition, and the consequent rise in intracellular adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP) or guanosine 3',5'-mono- phosphate (cGMP) in key cells in the pathophysiology of asthma. These are smooth muscle relaxation (resulting in bronchodilation) and anti-inflammatory activity. It has become known that there are multiple, distinct PDE isoenzymes which differ in their cellular distribution. A variety of inhibitors possessing a marked degree of selectivity for one isoenzyme or the other have been synthesized.
  • PDE enzymes can be grouped into five families according to their specificity toward hydrolysis of cAMP or cGMP, their sensitivity to regulation by calcium, calmodulin or cGMP, and their selective inhibition by various compounds.
  • PDE I is stimulated by Ca 2+ / calmodulin.
  • PDE II is cGMP-stimulated, and is found in the heart and adrenals.
  • PDE III is cGMP -inhibited, and inhibition of this enzyme creates positive inotropic activity.
  • PDE IV is cAMP specific, and its inhibition causes airway relaxation, antiinflammatory and antidepressant activity.
  • PDE V appears to be important in regulating cGMP content in vascular smooth muscle, and therefore PDE V inhibitors may have cardiovascular activity.
  • R ⁇ is (C 3 -C 6 ) cycloalkyl or benzyl; each of R 2 and R 3 is hydrogen or (C,- C 4 ) alkyl; R 4 is R 2 or alkoxycarbonyl; and R 5 is hydrogen or alkoxycarbonyl.
  • Substituents R ! -R 4 in Formula D represent a variety of groups, including hydrogen and lower alkyl.
  • R is a polycycloalkyl group having from 7 to 11 carbon atoms;
  • R 2 is methyl or ethyl;
  • X is O or NH; and
  • Y comprises a mono-or bicyclic heterocyclic group with optional substituents.
  • Phosphodiesterases Enzymes, John A. Lowe, III, et al, Drugs of the Future 1992, 17(9):799-807).
  • PDE IV is present in all the major inflammatory cells in asthma including eosinophils, neutrophils, T-lymphocytes, macrophages and endothelial cells. Its inhibition causes down regulation of inflammatory cell activation and relaxes smooth muscle cells in the trachea and bronchus.
  • inhibition of PDE III which is present in myocardium, causes an increase in both the force and rate of cardiac contractility. These are undesirable side effects for an antiinflammatory agent.
  • Theophylline a non-selective PDE inhibitor, inhibits both PDE III and PDE IV, resulting in both desirable anti-asthmatic effects and undesirable cardiovascular stimulation.
  • PDE IV inhibitors should be more effective with fewer side effects than theophylline. Clinical support has been shown for this hypothesis. Furthermore, it would be desirable to provide PDE IV inhibitors which are more potent and selective than rolipram and therefore have a lower IC 50 so as to reduce the amount of the agent required to effect PDE IV inhibition.
